Would definitely been keen to learn more about the proposed architecture of the proposed new terminal and satellite 4, if these both come to fruition. Would be a shame if MAG decided to go down the Luton-style terminal route, very claustrophobic and no natural lighting or space whatsoever.
MAG also were (and presumably still are) keen on trying to attract more long haul to STN- so I wonder if this ambition will inform the approach to the design of Satellite 4?
I for one hope that if MAG go along the lines of a Luton style 2nd terminal for Ryanair (I imagine Sat 4 will be for FR too) then they put some investment into main terminal. The building is a beauty but has been modified, neglected and destroyed over the years. I think MAG should turn it back into what it was always designed to be (not low cost) and enable a decent enough experiance to get some long haul/full service.
